Yes that's the RRP which is what Books Etc go to if OOS.
This went real quick < 1 Day. They may have been slapped over the wrist for going too early, or may have just gone through their initial stock v quickly - they should get more in, has happened to several Epics last few months.

It's a beast of a book. Proper logo on front and spine. I had been annoyed the wrong one was on the previous Handbook omnibus.

Hmmm. Well it's a compilation of the original issues rather than the trades, which would account for the minor art issues.
Roll on Omnibii for Update 89 and Master Edition and the inevitable softcovers.

Originals in the correct place, updated entries collected at the end.

Two points: the book's indicia has the year of publication as 2020. Incorrect! Secondly, ROM's entry is in there!

I'm trying to remember if this was ever down as a 2020 release. It may have been somewhere along the line even if that was before it became public knowledge!
I don't think the Rom entry has ever been cut..... unlike certain others (Arnim Zola, Cloud)
Not like we've seen that done on other trades of Marvel published Handbooks....
Just pulled my 10 volume trades of this off the shelf to try to compile a complete list of what is cut from them

Martin It's not officially out in book shops till NEXT week..... and Amazon has been very ropey at getting Marvel books in on time recently. Excellent packaging on this from Books Etc: In their standard book wrapping which was then in a box surrounded by scrunched up paper

These were all there in the issues and are in the Omnibus but these Handbook entries cut from the 10 volume trades:
Arnim Zola
Blackout - active entry is eliminated as he has a duplicate entry in the Book of the Dead
Cloud
Ghost Rider becomes Phantom Rider II
Headmen
Hellstorm, Patsy becomes Hellcat and swaps art
Kraven the Hunter ? I wonder if this was intended to be moved to book of the dead and wasn't? He was a few months pre death when the trade was published
Primus
Sin Eater
Spymaster active entry is eliminated as he has a duplicate entry in the Book of the Dead
Tower
Water Wizard
Appendix, alien races - all the other appendixes in the back of the books are missing from the trades two but this is half an issue!
Doctor Sun
Ghaur
If anyone spots any other LMK!

I shall edit the above post as I read more. Proceed to the Book of the Dead. OK, I shall sample the Book of the Dead next. Edit: And so Martin read of an endless sequence of clones of Adolf Hitler, known as the Hate-Monger, and his Hate Ray. Martin

Awww, have you not met the Hate Monger? Supper Villain Team-Up is going on your list!
Mentions of it are all over OHOTMU like a rash yet I had never heard of it when I first read them. It was on my "want to read" list for years
